The Passing Of Love Through Time (An InuYasha FanFiction)

A Bloody Thorn

The wind started to get stronger, as did the smell of roses in the air. Something or someone was coming closer, and fast.

What the heck is going on here!

"AHH!" A scream was heard, and easily identified as Rin. InuYasha ran out of the hut grabbing Tetsuiga on his way to find Rin being held by the hair by the one person InuYasha wishes it wasn't, Burakkuson. InuYasha didn't know what to do; he still had at least a half hour until sunrise. And now someone is in danger and he can't do anything but fight with what he has.

InuYasha unsheathed Tetsuiga and charged. The sword was in its rusty state, but it could still protect people. He swiped at her missing her by mere inches, but he held back.

Damn! I need to get Rin away from her or else I can't attack with full force.

"Good to see you too, InuYasha. Who's this little friend of yours?" She asked in a voice of ice, lifting Rin off the ground further by her hair.

"Let go of her!" He swiped again; the girl got out of the way and used Rin as a shield. InuYasha pulled back before the blade did any damage.

"This girl is getting in the way." Just then, branches and branches of black, thorny vines came from many directions. One or two grabbing Rin and wrapping themselves around her tightly, she cried out as the thorns dug into her skin.

She began yelling, "Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru!"

"Shut up you little brat, you'll wake up the entire village at this rate." The vines flung themselves against a large tree, taking Rin with them. The tree trembled is at was hit with much force, also causing Rin to go unconscious. "Heh, I might as well just kill her now." The vines started to constrict even tighter, making hard for her to breathe as the thorns dug deeper and deeper.

A bright green light lashed at the vines. The vines got destroyed on contact with the light, and broke away from Rin's bloody and unconscious body. In one swift movement, Rin was lying in Sesshomaru's arms next to InuYasha.

The Inu god looked down at the young girl with no emotion on his face but worry in his eyes as he looked over her body. Many bloody wounds now covered her once flawless ivory skin and kimono.

"Rin," he said emotionless, she didn't stir. "Rin." He said slightly louder, she still hasn't made a sound. He tried to shake her, but her expression became pained when she was moved too much. In a phase he was a hundred feet away from the action, he laid down his boa and gently placed Rin onto it. She whimpered from the pain from the wounds, the blood seeping though the kimono and staining the boa. Sesshomaru growled angrily and protectively as the pained face started to fade as her body relaxed against the touch of the boa. He stroked her hair allowing her to fully relax under his touch.

"Lord . . . Sesshomaru." She whispered, she was no longer unconscious, but in a deep sleep. He smirked at the thought that she was dreaming of him, but now was not the time to bask in the glow of her love. There was still danger afoot.

While Sesshomaru was caring for Rin, InuYasha was fighting off the seemingly endless vines. They tried to attack his arms and legs, but with no luck as he protected himself with the sheath of Tetsuiga. One came around the back and tried to grab his arm, it didn't grab him but a long thorn dug deep into his arm and made a long scratch.

Damn! While I'm human I can feel pain, and man does this hurt!

InuYasha kept cursing under his breath as blood started dripping down his arm from the wound. The vines started to pull back, but this time instead of trying to slither around him, they raised themselves high in the air and came crashing down one by one then repeated this. This was creating a lot of noise and craters in the ground. InuYasha dodged each one as they came down.
